Analysis on the Effects of Cutting Parameters on Surface Roughness of Workpiece in Surface Grinding
In this paper, the analysis on the effects of cutting parameters on surface roughness of workpieces in surface grinding has been conducted. Experimental SUJ2 steel grinding process is made with CBN grinding wheel. The tests is made on an APSG-820/2A surface grinder. The Box- Behnken method has been used to design experiments. Minitab 16 statistical software has been used to analyze ANOVA test results. The results show that the feed-rate has the greatest effect on surface roughness, followed by the least effects of velocity of workpiece, depth of cut on surface roughness. The interaction between velocity of workpiece and depth of cut has the greatest effect on surface roughness, followed by the effects of the interaction between the feed-rate and depth of cut, the interaction between velocity of workpiece and the feed-rate has insignificant effects on surface roughness. This study also shows the value range of some cutting parameters for processing surface of workpiece with small roughness. Finally, a regression model of surface roughness has been established in this study.
